Today was supposed to be the start of the third week of my trial in the District of Columbia Superior Court. But, as you know, the judge yanked the thing, perhaps because he wants to break the record of his other long-running case, which is now entering its twenty-third year.
In the meantime, I thank everyone who's signed up for one of our limited-edition trial souvenirs: The SteynOnline Liberty Stick. The trial may be postponed for a few weeks (or months, or years), but the Liberty Stick is shipping right now. It features both Magna Carta and the US Constitution - and, given the way things are going, once both documents have been thoroughly expunged from the Internet, my Liberty Stick may be the last discernible trace that they ever existed. Every stick is signed and numbered by yours truly - and is made right here in the USA. You can find them here.
~I hope you had a good Remembrance Day or Veterans Day. I can't say that I did. As is his wont, the alleged "Leader of the Free World" was inscrutably oblivious:
The "Free World" the Leader purports to lead is increasingly like that, don't you find? Stumbling around, unsure what it's doing or why it's here. In the years immediately after the Great War, "remembrance" was easy - because they were your sons, husbands, fathers, fiancés, and they're not around. Then the decades roll by, and for newer generations, even though you never met those you're "remembering", they're still your great-uncles or great-grandfathers, and thus part of the bond that connects you to your country and its inheritance.
And then a few more decades drift on and now we're all multicultural, and diversity is our strength, and a nation is no more or less than whoever happens to be standing around in it, like Gate 87 at Heathrow or LAX. And the bond is non-existent - because the Glorious Dead are not your kith and kin - and, even if they were, you've been taught since kindergarten that they were irredeemably racist and colonialist. And so we achieve the same befuddled condition as not merely Joe Biden but a fourteenth-century Middle English translation of the Book of Revelation:

We're really not voting our way out of this
Nope
